Columbia University Employer Reviews

Working in this academic practice with world class physicians and researchers afforded me the opportunity to learn high risk OB from the best.

Our practice was evidence based and research was discussed regularly to best advise our practice.

When I was transferred to perinatal clinic, the job became ideal as I was working with the population that I love.

Daily I was required to triage patients needs,calls, complaints, questions, I also interacted with referring providers, acting as a sounding board for their questions and offerring expert advice regarding care. I scheduled appointments,provided direct patient care and generally kept the perinatal service running. – less
